Firstly, I got the game Battlefield Bad Company 2, which is basically the overrated Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 but with tanks, choppers, and destructible buildings. Its great fun as you make your own doorways for buildings amongst the chaos.
Secondly, I just whipped up some pseudo-code for the map editor of my program. This is basically to help me view a tileset sprite easily no matter what the dimensions the BMP are. Which will be useful if I just was to cut and paste random tilesets off from the interwebs.
Oh and the code for getting which section of the slice to show is:
VTILE_VIEW = ROUNDUP(HTILE*page);
HTILE_VIEW = page*VTILE_VIEW;
EDIT: It seems that pseudo-code was written wrong, but I guess thats what 3am does to you, fixed (in C++ code and Psuedo code):
Code:
tilev_view = (int)ceil((float)page/tileh_pages);
tileh_view = page-((tilev_view-1)*tilev_pages);
Psuedo:
VTILE_VIEW = ROUNDUP(PAGE/HTILE_PAGES);
HTILE_VIEW = page-((VTILE_VIEW-1)*VTILE_PAGES)
These variables will basically be manipulated later to show the first 200 pixels of the BMP or the 200 pixels after that and so forth. Basically so I can calculate what range of pixels to show on-screen.
(Tileset: A BMP filled with images that may represent walls, floor, buildings and etc in a 2D universe e.g.
)
